- Abstract
- The major source of carbonaceous soot released into the environment is from the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels and other organic matter. Principal sources of soot emissions are coal burning furnaces, refuse burning, code production processes, wood burning in home fireplaces, the open burning of waste, and gasoline and diesel powered engines.
